That Shakespeartan Quotation.
ADMIRAL LUCE SAYS he REFERRED TO THE CANADIAN
CRUISER AND NOT TO SECRETARY WHITNEY.
A Bar Harbor special to the New York Tribune
says that Admiral Luce emphatically denies hav-
ing made use Of the quotation from Shakespeare,
"Behold the great image Of authority; dogs
Obeyed in Office "tn reference to the Secretary of
the Navy, as published and repubnshed in some
papers. The circumstances under which the quo
tation was used were given by the admiral to-day
as follows: While the flagship Richmond was at
Halifax short time ago, Admiral Luce spoke OF
the seizure Of the American schooner Highland
Light, which had been made by one OF the smallest
Dominion cruisers which had found the American
fishing within three miles on shore. The case was
so plain that even the owners Of the vessel de-
cded not to protest, and here 1t was that the re-
mark was made that even had the entire United
States Navy been present it could not have pre-
vented the little cruiser from selzng the Highland
Light. "Behold the great image or authority; a
dogs Obeyed in ONCE" said the admiral, referring
tary Of the Navy. It is but justice to myself and
my profession" said Admiral Luce "that this cor
rection should @ be made as would not be - under ,
pline and good manners as has been SO unspartngly
accorded to me-"
